Kalos' last line of defense stands in between the Megalith and the Anistar Sundial. Will it be enough to finally save the day?
!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* BackToBackBadasses: Champions Steven and Diantha pull this pose when using Psychic to buy Ash and Alain more time.
* ColossusClimb: Alain and Ash attempt to climb the megalith to get to Chespie; it tries to stop them by using appendages made of rock. The other trainers with them perform non-lethal {{Heroic Sacrifice}}s to get them to the power source.

* DivingSave:
** [[ShipTease Grant performs one to save Viola]] when the latter is attacked by the megalith.
** Blaziken Mask does this to save Clemont and Bonnie, leading directly to the LukeIAmYourFather reveal.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Clemont and Bonnie find out that Blaziken Mask is their father Meyer.
* VocalDissonance: Even if it's speaking [[VoiceOfTheLegion synchonized]] with Z-2, Squishy's high-pitched voice heavily contrasts the large and imposing Zygarde Complete Forme.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: With the Megalith getting disconnected from its "power source" (Chespie), the heroes thought the threat is over, and all that's left to do is to destroy the abomination. Unfortunately, Lysandre returns, and it powers back up again.
